“In order to compete amid the growing array of challenges and complexities that define today’s healthcare environments, hospitals and other healthcare providers are seeking mobile solutions that can empower their staff with better information to elevate patient care while enhancing their efficiency and productivity,” said Bill Foster, director Healthcare Business Development for Spectralink. “Spectralink and Critical Alert address these needs with smarter tools that enable more immediate information exchange among caregivers and better communication between patients and their clinicians, even while away from the bedside.”

With the certification of Critical Alert’s software and hardware portfolio for the Versity smartphone, healthcare providers can:

• Easily and securely access and update patient information at the point of care
• Readily and reliably communicate with care team members to improve care coordination, reduce errors and minimize inefficiencies that limit time with patients

Two leading-edge technologies, one exceptional solution
Purpose built for the rigors and requirements of today’s healthcare workflows and working environments, the Versity smartphone delivers enterprise-grade performance, superior voice quality and proven reliability in a durable, slim, lightweight design that is easy to carry and use.

Critical Alert’s software and its native integration augment these capabilities with ready access to real-time data that helps clinicians enhance patient care, improve clinical collaboration and drive better outcomes. Deployed through Versity’s open Android platform, Critical Alert streamlines communications between patient and staff, reducing unnecessary clinical interruptions, while providing robust and flexible workflow capabilities.
